Alesana have released a lyric video for track “Hiatus”, which is set to appear on the upcoming acoustic compilation It’s All Acoustic. Vocalist/guitarist Shawn Milke comments:
“Shane (bassist) and I wrote ‘Hiatus’ together as a way to examine where we are as friends and bandmates. It is a song about change and the emotions attached to the experience. We wanted the song to be raw, to feel raw. No bells and whistles. Alesana has been a band for eleven years. Most of us were teenagers when we started this band and now we are grown men with families and new desires to explore fresh pursuits and challenges. Alesana is such a large part of who and what we are and this song is a recognition that all things, no matter how wonderful, eventually change and transform; but we can’t allow ourselves to forget the journey and how important, and fun, it was getting here.”
The compilation arrives January 29th through Revival Recordings (which is owned by Milke) and can be pre-ordered here.
